Quail aud Cat Fight.

In the yard of A. A. Bruner some
quail from the Rancho Chico have taken
up their abode and built their nest. A
few days ago there was a pretty little
brood Matched out, and the mother
quail was proud Of her progeny and
took pleasure in caring for them. Mr..
Bruner encouraged her in providing
for the wants of the young family by
putting within reach soft feed suitable
for the baby quails. Last Sunday a
Maltese cat belonging to Harry Fuller
made its appearance in the yard, on Il
foraging expedition. and watching the
opportunity made dash ut the female
quail, caught it. and was taking it
prisoner to his own domain, there to
deyour his prey ut leisure. The cry and
noise made by the struggle Of the bird
was soon noticed by the male, who
came to the rescue, and regular battle
cnsued. The male bird made vicious
attack upon the cat, pecking with the
beak and striking with the wings until
he forced the cat to surrender, and re-
lease the female. The two birds got
upon the fence and watched the retreat

of pleasure and satisfaction, and no

Gently attracted some attention in the

financial relations that should exist be-

Great Engineering Feat.

Two thousand people saw wonder
full achievement of engineering skill at
Holmesburg Junction on the New York
Division of the Pennsylvania Railway.
Thirty-two men moved distance of
fifty feet the iron bridge. weighing
1.6OO tons, that spans the Pennypack,
and they accomplished the great task
in the remarkable time OF eleven and
one-half minutes. The engineers Of
the road have been long making prepar-
ations for the work of today. Some
time ago the company decided to build
four-arched stone bridge in the place
of the iron structure over the big creek.
The iron bridge had to be moved west
fifty feet that it might be nsed until the
stone bridge is built and ready for SER
vice.
Six weeks ago the men began the big
undertaking with the building of trestle
approaches to both sides of the creek at
the point where the iron bridge was ty
find new bed. The trestling had an
average hight of twenty-four feet, and
is on line with the grade of the old
railroad, The timber of the western
approach covered about 276 feet, while
the eastern approach is 800 feet long.
Piles were driven in the middle of the
stream, on which was reared a strong
trestle work fifty feet long and on Il
level with and contiguous to the stone
pier under the bridge. Trestles of the
same length and hight were then built
on both banks Of the creek and i'm Il
continuous line from the stone abut-
ments.
Every man was at his post, and the
great throng of people was watching
with eagar interest when the whiZz of
the fast line was heard. and the train
Numbered over the bridge seven min
utes late. And as it dashed away
superintendent Ford gave the word to
his army of laborers, and it was a
scene of transitory animation as they
tore up rails and cut away the fasten-
ings of the bridge. The bridge had
no sooner been released than Mr.. Mer-
shon gave the signal, and the thirty
two men began to wind the ..crabs.
As the bridge began to slowly move
more men went on it pouring oil on the
tallow CREASED rails. Superintendent
Crawford and the other officers held
watches in their hands as the big iron
structure moved calmly toward the end
of the trestling. At one time
the eastern end began to lag, but
